Review on ๐Ÿ›ผ Roll into Style with Candi GRL Sabina - Vibrant Freestyle Roller Skates! by Alex Marshall

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Check wheels and bearings before discarding box

Nice boot, very well made and size 8 fits me. I ordered them on March 25th and received them on March 28th. I took them out on my back on the 29th and noticed that the right front wheel on the right skate always pushes my foot inward, to the left. I can't skate straight on these skates. The wheel or bearing may be defective. I took them off again and loosened the right front wheel a bit to try and get at least a 30 minute session back. The right skate pushed my foot to the left again, causing me to feel like I was about to trip. Which I've done almost repeatedly, assuming I just had to "break" them. I can't pick up speed or perform tricks properly with a broken wheel and/or bearing. It's amazing (sarcasm) that the product description doesn't give the axle or bearing dimensions. I will return them if I can't figure out how to fix this wheel/bearing situation. I have uploaded a photo showing the setup I made. I don't have to spend extra money to make sure the skates work properly. So I will update this review after trying it. Edit: Today is April 6th, 2021 and I was trying out the custom skates at my local park. I was able to complete a 20 minute session after adjusting my right boot. The exposure was screwed into the right boot, so my foot kept moving inward. I fixed the problem and need to replace the wheels as they are not suitable for outdoor use. At least where small debris doesn't get in the way. They are probably better suited for use on a basketball/tennis court or similar surface. They are not "soft" like the outer wheels should be, so I'll use them sparingly once new wheels become available.

Pros
  • Inner/Outer Wheels (56 x 33mm Urethane); Bevo Silver-5 Race Rated Chrome bearings
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
